Back to the Title. I do not understand why hardcore Trumpers do not get this.
rating the opposing opinions or party members, it is not productive.
The more hardcore you get in politics, the more the focus turns to hot button issues, such as race relations and immigrants, and away from policies. They're easily manipulated because the slogan is more important than details. I'm sure Thatcher had her many slogans. Clinton was known as a policy wonk, but if you listen to him closely, you find that the information is very superficial. I think that's the way it is with advocates and their message. They avoid treading on mitigating information because it weakens the sales job. Trump gets away with claiming to control immigration or protecting US workers, but he proposing greatly expanding the worker visas coming into the US so companies can get them cheap on a rotating basis with the threat of losing their visas.
It comes down to the truth that people don't read. They will only see the first sentence at most.
Trump won because people like to blame immigrants for their failures. Seems to be a stigma being poor with certain white people of America. Its easy and appealing to blame immigrants instead of looking at their own failures. Instead of saying "I didnt live up to my potential to make more money, they say "Immigrants took away my potential for better work".
They will blame anyone else but themselves. THATS why rural America voted for trump. Because theyre not very smart. I dont know why any other reasonable person would vote for trump while citing immigration laws.

Well, as an immigrant myself who voted for Trump in 2016 I was consciously aware of 2 things:
- illegal immigration taking away opportunities for Americans
- the abuse of H1-B visas to take away American tech jobs.
Both are related to the undercutting of wages by non-immigrants, which has nothing to do with legal immigration.

well he didn't really win. did not win the popular vote. Lost by 3 million?
I don't understand it either, but it sure is a strong pull..I 'had' a good buddy of 40 years tell me if I didn't vote for Trump, he would never speak to me again..whaaat?..he hasn't spoken to me since..
that proves that sometimes our friends are smarter
